Cologne’s Municipal Museum, Local museum in Altstadt-Nord, Germany.
The Municipal Museum occupies multiple floors of a former department store building, featuring exhibitions about the development and life of Cologne through centuries.
Founded in 1888, the institution moved from its original location in Zeughaus to the renovated Franz Sauer department store building in Minoritenstraße 13.
The museum displays collections of urban artifacts, architectural models, photographs, and artworks that document the social evolution of Cologne across different periods.
Located near Hohe Strasse and Schildergasse shopping areas, the museum provides multilingual guided tours and maintains facilities for visitors with mobility requirements.
The transformation from an upscale fashion store to a museum space retained original elements like marble floors and a spiral staircase while adding modern exhibition areas.
